I use woocommerce on wordpress. But have one problem with checkout page. I’m adding products to the cart, then it redirects to cart page(as I checked this option from Woocommerce Settings-> “Redirect to the cart page after successful addition”), in the cart page I have “Update Cart” and “Proceed to checkout” buttons, after clicking on both buttons I’m redirected to Empty Cart page.
I noticed a thing that cart is updated after some minutes and after that it works. What can cause this maybe cookie or session issue?
The most simple solution:
Go to settings, change from “https” to “http”, try it now, if it works there is a issue with woocommerce forcing autentication, you can simply leave it be, and use “Wp Force SSL” to keep runing the SSL certification and have no more problems with it.
Worked for me
I ran into this problem and tried a bunch of things:
– installing a session plugin
– updating woocommerce & theme
– updating wordpress
– updating my plesk server
– adding session.autostart = 0 in PHP.ini
– using expiresActive Off in .htaccess
– removing AJAX on products and REST API in woocommerce settings
– refreshing status in woocommerce system status
The one thing that finally worked for me (i think) was installing WP Force SSL
this sounds like an ad. I hope this helps!
I did debug it and the issue was
Deactivate and reactive the plugin, so that woocommerce plugin create a session table again.
You are 18 versions behind. https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/changelog/
Your WordPress version is also behind.
You should update both of them before continuing to try and figure out the problem.
As you can see by the change log link I posted there are a ton of fixes you are missing by not being updated.
check the tick mark for Force secure checkout on woocommerce >> setting >> checkout.
If you have https secure certificate it should ticked (marked).
For some reason, sometimes you add products to cart but the cart page stays empty (even if you can clearly see the cart widget has products). But donât worry â it might just be a simple cache issue (and if you donât know what cache is thatâs no problem either).
